Forxiga: A medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

Forxiga is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, with the active ingredient being Dapagliflozin. It is effective in lowering blood sugar levels and helps control weight gain.

Mechanism of action of Forxiga

Forxiga works by inhibiting a protein called Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2), which plays an important role in reabsorbing sugar back into the bloodstream from the kidneys. Therefore, inhibiting SGLT2 helps increase the excretion of sugar from the body in the form of urine.

Indications for Forxiga

  • Used in conjunction with diet and exercise to control blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

  • Can be used in combination with other medications such as Metformin or Insulin.

  • Helps reduce the risk of heart and blood vessel diseases in certain patients.

How to Use and Usage Recommendations for Forxiga:

  • The recommended dosage is 10 milligrams per day, which can be taken with or without food.

  • It is advised to take it at the same time every day for the best results.

  • Do not increase or decrease the dosage without consulting a doctor.


Possible side effects that may occur from using Forxiga.

  • Frequent urination or increased urine volume.

  • Low blood sugar when used in combination with other medications.

  • Dehydration or low blood pressure.


Additional recommendations

  • Patients should regularly check their blood sugar levels.

  • Consult a doctor if any unusual symptoms occur.

  • Avoid pregnancy while using the medication.

Body Mass Index calculator

Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility, so it is important to keep your body weight within the normal healthy range.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indication of your body weight and can be calculated by dividing weight by height. You should aim for a BMI of between 20 and 25, as this will optimise your chances of conception.

Woman’s BMI below 19

Even in these modern times, nature knows best. If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

Being underweight

If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

BMI’s greater than 30

This can reduce fertility by 50%. Pregnancy for women with a 30+ BMI is often associated with problems such as maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, big babies and increased risk of caesarean section.
